Private individuals can receive subsidies for making their own homes more sustainable. The Sustainable Energy Investment Subsidy (ISDE) is for insulation measures and sustainable heating.
Subsidy amounts for Heat Pumps and Solar Boilers
For the purchase of a (hybrid) heat pump or solar water heater, you can receive a subsidy of several thousand euros. The amount of the subsidy depends on the capacity and energy label of the device. Detailed amounts per device can be found in the report code lists on the website of the subsidy provider RVO:
For connection to a heat grid you can receive a grant of €3,325.
Subsidy Amounts for Insulation Measures.
For insulation measures, there is a fixed subsidy amount per square meter of insulation or glass. When performing 2 or more measures, this amount per square meter is doubled. Here are some examples of possible combinations:
Insulating the cavity wall in combination with installing HR++ glass.
Insulating the cavity wall in combination with a hybrid heat pump.
Insulating the roof along with connecting to a heat grid.
The exact amounts and minimum area requirements can be found on the website of the subsidy provider RVO.nl.
Grant Amount for an Electric Cooking Facility.
If your home is connected to a heat grid and the gas meter has been removed, you can receive a €400 subsidy for an appliance on which you can cook electrically, such as an induction cooktop. Note that this subsidy does not apply as a second measure to receive the higher subsidy on an insulation measure.
Important Eligibility Requirements:
You own the property and live there yourself (the property is not rented out).
The insulation measures meet the required insulation values and minimum square footage.
The application for subsidy must be submitted after the measures have been implemented.
The application must be submitted within 2 years (24 months) of the implementation of the first measure.
Only one application can be made for a specific insulation measure (e.g. cavity wall insulation, glass insulation, etc.).
Subsidy is granted only for measures carried out by a licensed construction company/installer.
When requesting, include the "report code" of the product or insulation material. Ask the installer for this code or refer to the quotation for details.
Several municipalities and provinces also offer subsidies for insulation measures. It is possible to apply for both an ISDE subsidy and a local subsidy for the same measures.
For all specific conditions and details, please refer to the grantor's website. Here you will also find a detailed roadmap for applying for the grant.
